Marino,
     I'm pretty much a through hole person. I try to avoid surface mount=20
devices if at all possible. I have it sorted out and I won't be making=20
that mistake again on this board. I only damaged one cap. Everything=20
that you have suggested I will keep in mind for future projects. I=20
finally have all of the mechanical and electrical problems solved. Also=20
the software is working correctly. I really appreciate everybody's help.
Thanks,
rich!
